No. Well, he was the editor of The Los Angeles Times sent to Arizona Territory in the spring of 1886 to investigate the latest Apache war, sending dispatches back to the Times. This book is comprised of those dispatches from April and May, 1886. His interviews with General Crook provide an up close view of the General and his views. For anyone interested in the Apache wars of Arizona Territory in 1886, this book is mandatory reading. Several years back another book from this time period also by Charles R. Lummis saw print by Dan L. Trapp: DATELINE FORT BOWIE. Both will afford the reader information on the Apache wars not available anywhere else.
